Features: "The Complete Record of the 'September 18th Incident'" is a series of special editions published by Japan's Asahi Shimbun, documenting the entire process of the Japanese Kwantung Army's invasion of Northeast China from September 18, 1931, to January 14, 1932. The book covers the Japanese army's attack on the Beiyangliu Camp in Shenyang, the occupation of Shenyang City, and the seizure of Jilin, Qiqihar, and Jinzhou, reflecting military mobilization, troop numbers, weaponry, equipment, and combat situations. Whether from the perspective of Japan's invasion of China during the September 18th Incident or from the perspective of the historical study of the incident, this is a complete time period. During this time, the Kwantung Army took advantage of the Chinese government's "non-resistance" policy to achieve rapid expansion of its occupation. The publication of "The Complete Record of the 'September 18th Incident'" fills the gap in historical materials and research for this period, and holds typical significance for exposing the atrocities of Japan's invasion of China and for historical research on this period. On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japan, it holds special importance.
